Hey guys, right now everything opens in Geany, I was looking to switch this to another editor. Could someone point me to the correct config file I edit for this? Editor is not an option in settings manager.
Thanks ahead of time.
@TimApple what editor are you thinking of using? I have to look this up, but if memory serves me correctly, you can probably change your default editor in your .bashrc or .zshrc files. Now me being old, I don’t always trust my memory! 
When I get to my computer, I’ll check to see if this is the way to do it.
export EDITOR=' *program* ' export VISUAL=' *program* '

ok, will check there… I am thinking of switching it to Code by the elementary guys. It’s nice and simple, looks good, and has some good features. If not that, probably just gvim. I open a lot of stuff in ranger which defaults to vim. It’s just those periodic miscellaneous cllcks now and then that open stuff in a gui editor.

@sevendat4 -
that’s correct.
export EDITOR="your_editor"
export VISUAL="your_editor"
just have to set it up for the shell you’re using.
If you add it to ~/.profile it should source that when you log in and work with whatever shell you have set up.

Thanks @PackRat. I guess my memory does work once in a while. I did forget about using ~/.profile though
